Interactive Magic for Family Parties
Birthdays and backyard celebrations get an instant upgrade with interactive magic for every age, from toddlers to grandparents, that keeps the whole party in one place and laughing together.
Family parties bring together a wider mix of ages than almost any other event: toddlers, teenagers, parents, and grandparents, all in the same backyard or living room. Our magicians build their family-party sets around that exact challenge, blending big, visual, easy-to-follow magic that delights younger kids with sharper misdirection and wit that keeps the adults just as engaged.
Instead of a single seated show, much of the magic happens as an interactive, walk-around experience, pulling kids and adults alike directly into the trick, so nobody is just watching from the sidelines. It's a format that works equally well at a birthday party, a backyard barbecue, or a milestone family celebration.
Every performer on our roster is comfortable working a full-age-range crowd, and we'll help you pick the magician whose energy best matches your celebration.

Frequently Asked Questions
A few things people usually ask before booking magic for family parties, plus everything else you need to know.
All of them. Our performers tailor their material to whoever's in the room: big, visual, easy-to-follow tricks for younger kids, and sharper, wittier material that keeps teens and adults just as entertained, often within the same set.
It depends on the event, but most family party bookings run somewhere between 30 and 60 minutes of active performance. Let us know the shape of your celebration and we'll recommend a length that fits.
No. Our magicians are just as effective in a living room or a small backyard as they are in a large hall, mingling magic scales naturally to whatever space you have. Your magician will confirm any specific setup details with you ahead of time.
Sometimes, yes: reach out with your date and we'll check availability across our full roster. Because we represent four full-time professionals rather than one, we're often able to accommodate dates that a single independent magician couldn't.
Capital Magic Company is a boutique agency representing a hand-picked roster of Ottawa's top professional magicians. Instead of booking a single act, you get access to four distinct performers, each with their own specialty, so we can match the right magician to your event.
Booking an individual magician limits you to their availability, style, and price point. We represent multiple full-time professionals, so we can typically accommodate your date, recommend the performer whose style best fits your event, and handle the booking so you don't have to.
Our roster includes Michael Bourada, Diego Lopez, Tyler Rourke, and Dave Dickens — each a full-time professional magician with 20+ years of experience and a distinct style, from corporate mingling magic to close-up card work to full stage illusions. You can read more about each of them above.
Yes. Michael Bourada has appeared as a featured performer on Penn & Teller: Fool Us and has been seen on Netflix, CW, CTV, and CityTV. Our other performers have also been featured on CTV and CBC.
We perform at corporate events, weddings, community gatherings, family parties, galas, and more. Whether you need close-up magic weaving through a cocktail hour or a full stage show for a large audience, we have a performer suited to your event.
We book magicians for events across Ottawa and the National Capital Region, including Kanata, Orleans, Barrhaven, Nepean, Westboro, downtown Ottawa, and Gatineau. Our magicians also travel outside of Ottawa for the right event, so reach out even if you're located further away — we're happy to discuss travel.
Mingling magic (also called close-up or walk-around magic) happens right in front of your guests in small groups — perfect for cocktail hours and receptions where people are mixing. A stage show is a formal, choreographed performance for a seated audience, ideal as a dedicated entertainment segment.
Yes to both. Our performers tailor their material to the crowd in the room — clean and family-friendly for kids' parties and community events, sharper and more sophisticated for corporate audiences and adult celebrations.
For mingling magic, the cocktail hour or reception — while guests are standing, mixing, and waiting for the next part of the evening — works best. For a stage show, it's usually placed after dinner, once the room is seated and focused, as a dedicated entertainment segment.
Absolutely. Many of our corporate clients incorporate company logos, product reveals, or personalized messages directly into the performance. Let us know what you have in mind when you reach out and we'll work with your magician to tailor the experience.
Our magicians are just as effective with a handful of guests as they are with a few hundred — mingling magic scales naturally to small clusters, while stage shows can be set up for larger crowds. We typically just need a small space to perform; your magician will confirm any specific setup details with you ahead of time.
